    Lemmy is overloaded with people that puff up and want to present like they know things about tech, when they know basically nothing.

    Get a hardware firewall, get basic safe practices in place, don’t do basic user operations as admin, and configure shit correctly. If you think that your OS is there to protect you, you are a tech foooooooooooooool

      I just connected my Windows 7 machine to the internet and two Russians jumped out my serial port! One is holding me down while the other one is stealing the CPU from my washing machine! Send help!

          Well one did fuck me in the ass while the other one stole my favorite underwear right out from the delicate cycle. Total animals.

      Windows 7 is not safe because windows does not support it with security anymore, and i dont know what i am doing when it comes to security.

      Yes, obviously if you know how to add better security, or more importantly, know what you need, then yeah it is fine to use. But it is not safe ‘out of the box’.

      I left reddit because I wanted to escape people who were just looking to create arguments. But I guess there is still people like that here on lemmy.
